    Wanted to go again
    We spent 4 hours here and ran out of tim! We wanted to go again the next day but couldn't fit it into our schedule. I cannot understand the other recent reviews calling the museum outdated and missing English? It was very modern, interactive, educational and every single sign was in English as well. Did they review the wrong museum?!

    Amazing, but choose wisely :)
    Very good exibition, but you should choose what to visit, because it’s too big to see all without being exhausted. I would recommend space section, it’s amazing. With small kids save time and energy for the Kids Kingdom on -1 level, it’s a nice playground.

    revisited after more than 40 years away
    I revisited recently, after not being there since 1976 when I was living in Munich as a teenager. We went to the musical instrument collection, which had been my favorite part of the museum. It's been completely modernized and had some demonstrations while we were there. still wonderful, even if completely different and unrecognizable.

    Totally renovated, all different
    Since my last visit in 2019 D Museum has been totally renovated, and is still under construction. Nothing is as it was just 4 years ago. They now have a lot of cool historic aircraft including V1 and V2 bombs. New displays for music, health, electronics, robots, math, etc. All well done with German and English descriptions. They have removed mining, shipping, navigation, chemistry, energy, others, but some of these might return with future renovation. New restaurant is way undersized and more like a bar than a restaurant with mediocre food. Would not be a good choice for kids. If you can, take your own lunch. Web site said larger bags would not be permitted, but saw many people with them, and there are lockers.

    Fun museum for the family
    Fun museums for adults and children alike. Huge museum covering pretty much every type of science imaginable - from the human body to airplanes to outer space to music instruments to optics. Lots of interactive activities. Came here on a Saturday and it was pandemonium with numbers of kids around.

    Interesting dispalys
    So many things to see, so little time. No matter what your interest there is a room/exhibit here for you. We visited apce, music, robots, physics, chemistry, and bridges (just didn't have time for some of the others). We spent a few hours there and although exhausting, thoroughly enjoyed. You really can spend many hours here, so look at the map and choose wisely. Almost every display had an english translation.

    Good but needs more hands-on, interactive, exhibits
    There was a hands-on kid’s section, which the kids loved. Our 3-year old might have “driven” the firetruck forever if we hadn’t eventually dragged him out through the window of the firetruck so we could see more of the museum. We wished the rest of the museum could have been a little more hands-on to keep our young children engaged. It would have been great if the robots in the robot section were actually doing something instead of just sitting there. Unfortunately the model trains were not working at the time either. But overall, it was interesting, with exhibits on airplanes, bridges, the human body, agriculture and more.

    Worthwhile visiting
    Very nice things displayed. (E.g. complete aircrafts and boats and how they work). I was with my 10 yr old. There were some exercises to experiment with yourself but not as much as in the technic museum in e.g. Salzburg which is a nicer experience for kids.

    A rainy day must…
    We went on a rainy and windy day. I was so glad to have bought the tickets online because everyone else had the same idea and there were huge lines at the ticket counter. What a relief to walk in! We also went as soon as it opened so we could leave when it got really busy after lunch. This was an excellent museum for children from ages 6–18. The parents could also learn a lot. However, it is not fair to allocate a couple of hours to all the exhibits. We were there 5 hours and really saw one floor well. We rushed through the 2nd floor in 45 min. because we were overloaded and overstimulated. So, I wish we could come back to see this wonderful, educational tool which makes complicated things come alive for kids and adults, alike. English signage is everywhere. Food and drinks are sold in a cafe or bring your own. You can lock your backpacks in convenient lockers and leave jackets with attendants. Bathrooms are clean and use fabulous tech. All in all, wonderful value for money and a must for those hard to please tweens and teens. And if that doesn’t convince them, there is a wonderful section on how selfies came to be…

    Great day spent, great value for money
    We spent the day here to avoid a very hot day in our trip to Munich. We spent over 4 hours there and could have spent more. It's amazing how it carers for English speakers with every display in both languages. Really interesting on all levels. Cafe was busy and a bit pricy but we did go at peak time

I am leaving a bad review but it’s not about the content, since I wasn’t able to visit it. They don’t accept the credit card below 20 euros and the price entry is 14 euros. This is beyond understanding, all other places I went to in Munich accepted the card for lesser amounts than 14 euros. The cashier was so rude when she announced me this bad news, no empathy, she wasn’t feeling sorry at all and no reason was given for this stupid rule.

I can only recommend this museum if you are a fluent German speaker. My guess is that more than 80% of information is only provided in German, including most of the hands on exhibits that my kids were interested in.

The museum is also hard to navigate, you must constantly backtrack through exhibits you have already explored in order to move from one level to the next.

A most disappointing museum! It has not been renovated since the *1990’s*!!!! I never thought to see an outdated science museum in Germany😳, costing a whopping 14€- ufffff
The displays are poorly lit so reading the tons of writing is hard. I get it that we didn’t have widespread internet in the 90s and museums were founts of knowledge but we are in the 2020’s now. Plus half of the displays are only in German and when there is English, the writing is teeny weeny. Also, it would be more apt to call this museum a History of Science museum so prepare to be disappointed if you expect anything new. The only good thing was the Ecology display- well laid out and interesting.
Even the restaurant is not great with canteen-style fried fare.

A lot to see in a huge museum with mny departments. Everyone finds their interesting subjects, for sure! Lots of interactive spots for everyone. Suits well for children, too.

My only crituque is for the many peoole in the museum. It is crowdy. With an app you can purchase a ticket in advance, so you don’t have to queue. The museum is so big that it is a bit difficult to orientate.

This made for a disappointing day, particularly because we have been to some truly engaging museums of science and technology. The collection is impressive. Ships and flight, impressive. But the layout, interior spaces and curation is boring and disorienting. Not worth a day in such a great city with so much to offer.

There are so many great reviews for this place, I was sure it would be a fun afternoon spent in Munich. However, in reality we wandered between the exhibitions bored senseless, dodging uncontrolled children. A museum like this normally has lots of fun interactive exhibits, but at the Deutsches Museum there seems to be very little of that. Lots of tedious information that would be great if you had a specific interest in that subject area, but not for the general public. Perhaps if you do a tour you will get to experience more, but it was certainly not worth the 15 euro entrance fee. Much better and less expensive sites to see in Munich!

Good . The boats were unique and worth seeing . We also liked the mine so different to British mines . The German ones seem so much safer . There could be more interactive exhibits and that part was disappointing compared to other science museums. We still spent a couple of hours here

This museum had it all! Very interactive, a great learning experience. You really need a full day here as. I especially liked the new aviation section, very good displays of a broad range of historical artifacts. I didn't allow myself enough time in this museum, having started off with at least 20 minutes just checking out the section on railways, and I'm not even a railway buff.
Explanations of "how things work" was intriguing, from the the varying designs of hydroelectric turbines to the WW2 Enigma machine. Good sections on developments in agriculture, robotics, photography, etc. etc. Be sure, though, that you visit this museum with companions with similar appetite for technology: my wife ran out of steam by 2 hours before closing time and I had to go before I was ready to leave. Very enjoyable day, Very good value too, as admission was cheap.

We found the museum to be very poorly organised. It was very confusing to get around and I saw a lot of other people get lost too. Barely any of the information was in English. I understand it is in Germany however a lot of tourists visit so it would be good to have information in other languages.

It seems like this musueum has had the same exhibition for more than 50 years. You have a number of objects on display with small signs telling e.g. "This steam machine ifs from 1989 from Karlsruhe". And nothing else. No movement so you can see how things works, no videos , no interaction. A few musical instruments are displayed, but yoiu cannot hear how they sound. It is such an oldfashioned way of having a museum. It is NOT worth a visit.
